Personal Narrative: My Essay

Decent Essays
Throughout out my high school career I have blossomed into the writer I am today. I not the best writer, but I have gotten much better. I still remember the first couple essays I wrote in my freshman english class, they were awful and full of grammatical errors. Comparing the first essay i ever wrote in the class and my college essay that i wrote in my senior english class, you can see growth and improvement. Writing does not come easily to me, it’s like trial and error. When starting an assignment, my introduction is either really good or it’s a hot mess. To me writing is a hit or miss at first, I have to go through tons of editing before it is anywhere near perfect. After reading many books, articles, and essays, i’ve come very found of

    I tend to not put my sentences together as carefully as I could. When I take more time in my writing to look things over and make sure that everything is correct I usually turn out with a better paper. It is also just as important to stay on topic and not to get lost and sidetracked in a different area of the paper. When I have someone else read over may paper it makes it easier for me to see my weak areas and my stronger areas of writing. Sometimes taking a break from writing and putting your mind into something else also helps.…

That is why I start with the supports and the conclusion; and save the intro for last. Writing the intro for me is the hardest part. While I’m writing I am always thinking on how to start my essay.…

    But now I know that if you write like you care, the reader will have no choice but to feel the same. I have learned to set the tone in my writing by thoroughly researching and making my position clear. I have also learned the importance of planning. Countless teachers have told me that my writing feels rushed and sometimes my ideas aren’t clear. Spelman professors have taught me to find planning methods that best fit me.…

    In my opinion, a good introduction and thesis is what allows an essay to flow. The introduction of an essay sets the tone of the paper. If the introduction of a paragraph is poor, then the rest of the paper will be poor. I was able to determine what I wanted to discuss however I was unable to convey an introduction and thesis that correctly set the tone for my essays. The words in my introductions seemed to be filled with wordiness, awkwardness, and poor word choice.…

    One week later after turning in my essay my teacher asked me if I was able to stay after class to talk about the essay. I was sweating and began biting my nails with such anxiety I had a feeling that my essay was a disaster. After class I felt an extreme cold while walking to the teacher's desk and the desk seemed so far away. When the teacher saw me she told me, “Liz you are red what happened?”. I replied “Well I am a bit nervous because you told me you had to talk to me about my essay…

    My family were looking for something we could do in Downtown Sacramento last September 2nd, this year. I searched on Google about events that will happen that Saturday, and I found out about a 3-day SacAnime event at the Sacramento Convention Center. My sixteen-year-old son loves anime shows, so he was ecstatic when I told him about the event, and so did I, as I’ve never been to an event like that. So off we went to the convention. While we were walking toward the convention, we saw hundreds of people everywhere dressed up in costumes with their favorite characters from different shows, series, movies, cartoons and so on.…

    Since the first day of semester I have written about fifteen essays and my writing process have changed a little bit. Such as taking less time hand writing my essay and just going to the computer and typing it. But when I still research about what I am going to write about i just don 't hand write it down on a piece of paper. The thing that didn 't change was how I brainstorm my ideas and that is by being in a quiet room and the best time for me to brainstorm my ideas is middle of the day and likes to music playing. I think the biggest thing that have changed is my grammar in my paper before I would have other people look over my paper and they would suggest to change some sentence to make sense.…

    Wal-Mart has been a great place for me to share my story. Children have come up to me, after seeing me with my cane or wheelchair, to simply ask, “What is wrong with you?” The first time I heard this it shocked me because I do not view myself as more different than anyone else, but then I realized it was a great opportunity to shine a positive light on disabilities. Everyone I meet, whether they are embarrassed parents in Wal-Mart or classmates at school, is hesitant to ask me about my story. However, I am more than willing to share about how cerebral palsy has affected my life in both positive and negative ways.…

    After I put all of my ideas down then I start working on my outline. The outline helps me because it makes me half to think about where I’m going to put things in my paper. After I know where things are going to go in my paper, then the writing after that comes easy. Writing used to be hard for me in high school, but now since I learned how to do an outline writing has become a whole lot easier for me. For example, in the learning easy I did not do much of an outline because I thought it was a waste of time.…
